pursue a career in energy industry or to enroll ingraduate programs in the energy field. It is important to encourage students to learn to use suchkind of software packages that work with renewable energy systems. Because by taking theadvantage of such tools students can learn and adapt better solutions to fix the energy problemissues. It is is important to keep in mind that how we are using the energy today will shape theway how we live in the future.References1.

for the entire first- yearengineering students. All engineering students are brought into the First-YearEngineering Program that is part of the Department of Engineering Education.They are required to complete a common first year core of classes matriculating to theirrespective engineering major (Jeremy, 2006). As the industries and societies that revolvearound faces mind-boggling challenges especially if one works with Informationtechnology, manufacturing, oil or gas. They need for engineers in this field are veryacute. Federal stimulus spending in such areas as energy technology and infrastructureshows an increase in demand. But there is still

be emulated in school, even with the capital cost expenditure Page 24.936.2 made by schools in order to obtain and maintain laboratory environments that reflect the modern industrial facility [2]. 2. From the students’ side there is no additional cost involved as the project is fully sponsored by Mazak. 3. Mazak benefits from this program by the opportunity of their employees interact with highly academically trained students, fully dedicated to experimental initiatives.According to Todd et al. [3], it is essential to keep in mind that industry is an important customerof engineering education. Ignoring this

design. Hence, if engineering students would have a project which wouldinvolve scanning their own bodies and developing a sizing system, not only that they would learnmore about reverse engineering, but they would learn about technologies which are used in otherindustries which involve products with complex surfaces such as automotive, aerospace anddefense. Figure 1: Application of 3D body scanners in fashion industry14 Mass Customization and Personalization Mass customization manufacturing systems are designed to enable personal approach toproducts and services15. They have to be designed carefully with real customer needs in mind,with not too many options which customers might sometimes find overwhelming

due to a new application.Effectual thinking thus can be very useful in identifying entrepreneurial opportunities inmanufacturing and for that the technical details of the means should be known in full detail.2.1 Choice of ApproachThe literature identifies six different approaches for educating entrepreneurship. Out of these,resource based approach is identified as the one close to engineering students. Engineeringstudents need to realize that they can easily identify the opportunities if they keep their minds inthe ‘Polling Condition’ (refers to basically anything that periodically checks (polls) for data or acondition). However it needs a clear understanding of the capabilities of the science ortechnology they are considering. This is a

IntroductionDesigning an online class especially for a large number of executives and workingprofessionals is a challenge. The focus of the class moves more towards learningfrom teachingi. The class should be designed not only to have a high impact onthe learning but also to be mindful of the availability of the students.
